Read the full account

On 15 February 1867 Dostoyevsky married Anna Grigoryevna Snitkina, the stenographer who had taken The Gambler to meet a predatory contract. It is not The Gambler as a book and not a unique household-accounts series. Later museum rooms on Kuznechny are locators, not 1867 acts.

Context

She managed creditors, smoking, and copy. Labour path: skilled women’s office work inside a writer’s firm. Mixed: the marriage was also patriarchal. Shared with Anna. Europe years of debt follow.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. The marriage-office is not the roulette Fact and not a later museum ticket. Mixed effects of Marriage to Anna Grigoryevna Snitkina, 15 February 1867, as a working partnership are separate paths.

Why it matters

Stenographer-partnership is a labour path of high confidence and modest weight. It does not erase gambling harm. Mixed household hierarchy stays mixed.

That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
